One of those is ipchains -L -v -n which will list, verbosely, all rules using numbers, not names. You're doing fine. It's that 10.x.x.x thing that GL told you how to fix causing a lot of problems.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. There are no services running on DF that listen on the external nic. So lowering the firewall rules allows access to all the ports, but to what? There are no ports forwarded into the internal network by default, so there won't be any server for nimbda to attack. Did I miss something? It's possible, as I don't boot DF too often.
